The Beijinger's Pizza Cup Launch Party touched down on Saturday in Beijing, with around 3,000 expats and locals attending to take part in the capital's pizza carnival, with games, live music, beer and of course, pizzas.

Held at an open area at Galaxy Soho, visitors were offered the chance to taste as many pizzas from ten of Beijing's most popular pizza joints at their booths throughout the day from 11 am to 8 pm.

The pizza party marked the start of online voting organized by the Beijinger that will decide the best pizzas out of 64 nominators in town.

The Beijinger, a popular lifestyle and entertainment magazine in Beijing, is also the organizer of Beijing's annual Burger Cup.
